>Mellow Yellow Monday 004: Ooh, kari!
>
Dear friends, I am now back into circulation again after months and months of being out of the blogosphere. I hope you will still take me in.
For my come-back entry, here I am posting some of the spices that I use to make the Khmer curry called kari saramann that I made a while ago. Can you identify some of the spices?
If not, head over to the comment section where you’ll find the answers 🙂
Have a great week everyone!
>Mellow Yellow Monday 003: Khmer New Year Offering
>
Last week, we celebrated the Khmer New Year. It’s a 3-day celebration that started last April 14 and ended on April 16. Buddhists believed that on the first day of the New Year, apsaras or devatas (Khmer angels) descend to replace the old ones here guarding the earth. On the photo is my landlady preparing her “altar”, filled with candles, incense, fruits and other food to greet the new batch of angels. To know more about how the Khmer New Year is celebration, please read this post.

I am so craving for it right now!
This photo was posted in my food blog months ago and thought of sharing it for this week’s Mellow Yellow Monday.
>Mellow Yellow Monday 001: Village gas-station

This is my first time to participate in Mellow Yellow Monday.
Photo shows the yellow container full of gasoline. An improvised pump is used to siphon the gas out and onto the car’s tank. This mini-refill gas station is a common sight especially in rural Cambodia. The gasoline comes from the Vietnamese border, unrefined, thus cheaper than the ones sold in gasoline stations. This was even featured in the previous season’s Amazing Race in their Cambodia leg and the contestants find the task very challenging. It was fun to watch them sweat it out, filling their chosen trucks with gasoline all by themselves, while the locals watch them amusingly!
A Silver Finish!
